Even if you have to go a bit out of your way to get it...think about the drive home!!!
Correct, go out of the way to get what you want. Other than a few people overseas, I will be taking the long way home compared to most. I am from Oregon and that is where I am buying my Camaro. I am currently working in Louisiana and when my car gets to my dealer I should be working near Mobile, AL. So when I pick my car up, think about that drive home.

I have a lot of faith in my dealer i've used for years and they have a world class service department. I prefer they install my dealer options. I have had problems with dealers in the Mobile area in the past or I would take delivery there. I'm not usually excited about a 3000 mile drive, but I am so looking forward to this one.

Anyway, definately take the steps needed to get the deal you want. It only took one E-mail for me to talk my dealer out of the $10,000 mark up they were going to charge. Tell them your terms, they will meet you r terms or you can buy elswhere. It's your car. You're the boss.

5 months and a week till production. This is getting exciting.
